<p>Thanks Kim!!</p>
<p>I was just enrolled in a clinical trial at ucla and looking forward to kicking this cancer to the curb!</p>
<p>I did book my Hawaiian Air trip and keep moving my return flight home. I'm undergoing all the prelim tests and exams this week. I hope to start "Day 1" Monday!!</p>
<p>I have a super support network with family and friends back in Hawaii. Some are PR pro's who know how to spread the message! My plan is after the first 6 weeks up here in Cali, to return to Hawaii and then fly back every 2 weeks for 2 days of infusion and rest, then return to Hawaii. I have to continue working and getting my medical insurance and pay from my job, you know, I got kids and stuff!!! I am not giving up, ever!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please contact me if you ever come to Queen's, I work there you know?!?! I would love to meet you!! Tell Shane Morita you talk to me here, I know him real well!!!!</p>
<p>At Queen's just ask phone operator for Marcus in Creative Services, they got my number!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big Aloha!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks from Westwood,</p>

<p>Hi Marcus!</p>
<p>I live in Hilo myself and also go to Queen's. Best of luck, I also trust my team there implicity. They are also well connected to the big names on the mainland as well. I saw Glaspy as a second op. when initially diagnosed stage IV. He also made the same recommendations - IL-2. Fortunately still NED.</p>
<p>I get the having limited specialists in our State, but the Big Island is even more lacking! Glad one of my oncs. now comes to Hilo monthly. Saves on the air fare.</p>
<p>If they are recommending you travel for treatment, I would book it on my Hawn. miles CC ASAP.</p>
<p>Wishing you well, mucosal sucks rocks. Hope the newer drugs will work for you. I know wild type &amp; mucosal / CKit mutations are harder to crack, but they ARE making progress.</p>
<p>Best of luck,</p>
<p>Aloha,</p>
<p>Kim</p>
<p>PS - Might bump into you during my scans one day - usually go in Feb.</p>
